US and Israel Weigh a Future for the Gaza Strip Without Hamas
Officials have discussed an interim government with UN backing
Arab support is no sure thing but would be key, analysts say
U.S. and Israeli officials looking to the future of the Gaza Strip after dislodging Hamas have begun discussing possibilities, including potentially installing an interim government backed by the United Nations and with the involvement of Arab governments, people familiar with US government deliberations said.
The discussions are still at an early stage and hinge on developments yet to unfold, not least of which would be success in an Israeli ground assault, according to the people, who asked not to be identified detailing private deliberations. And any such possibility would need buy-in from Arab nations around the region, which is by no means certain.

Antagonism Toward Israel on Historic Uptrend Amid Migrant Influx, Says Ex-US Senator
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - Antagonism towards Israel is currently on a record rise and the influx of refugees will likely overwhelm the traditional support for it in the near future, former Virginia State Senator Richard Black told Sputnik.
"This passionate outpouring of support for Hamas, both in the US and in Europe, was a clear wakeup call for supporters of Israel. If globalists continue forcing western nations to accept waves of immigrants, Israel is likely to face diplomatic isolation within ten years," Black said.

India’s government is expected to reject demands from Russian oil companies to pay for Russia’s crude oil imports in Chinese yuan, Indian officials told Bloomberg on Friday.

Moscow has a lot of Indian rupees, but it can’t spend them all while it needs yuan. Russian firms have largely ditched dollar and euro payments due to the Western sanctions and the fact that Russia has been cut off from the SWIFT banking payment system.

Excess Deaths Take Center Stage in First-Ever UK Parliament Debate on the Silent Health Crisis
“The experimental COVID-19 vaccines are not safe, and they’re not effective,” said MP Andrew Bridgen. And he brought the receipts to prove it.
Andrew Bridgen expressed significant distrust in the data presented by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). He criticized their method of incorporating 2021 deaths into their baseline, suggesting it artificially reduced the appearance of excess deaths.
Highlighting an alarming trend, Bridgen pointed out that a significant number of deaths are under investigation by coroners, especially among younger demographics, leaving us without an accurate count for 2021.

Dylan Mulvaney named 'Woman of the Year'
'You cannot make this up'
When it becomes socially acceptable to purposefully break with reality and pretend the unreal is the real, you know society is in rapid decline.
If it's not a death spiral, it's close. And we appear to be rapidly approaching the point of no return.
Case in point: Transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney has been named Attitude magazine's first "Woman of the Year." I wish I was kidding.
Nobody is talking about this
JOE BIDEN SAID SOMETHING STRANGE LIVE ON TV
I'm having trouble sharing your posts. The buttons are not live/active and the little share icon doesn't work, either. Haven't managed to diagnose the issue...maybe a publishing glitch?
These protesters and everyone else must not make the same mistake of conflating the Palestinian people with their corrupt terrorist government. Have empathy for those who suffer from wars, not those who start them. The Israeli government is no better in making this worse by their response. They are capable of removing Hamas surgically, instead they are giving Hamas more power by their response. More is at play her than what meets the eye.
